THIS MATTER, a complaint
filed by Victoria L. Hammer (Complainant) with the Iowa Civil
Rights Commission (Commission) charging United Parcel Service,

the basis of sex came on for hearing in Ottumwa, Iowa on January
12, 1988, continuing on January 13, 14, February 2, 3 and in Des
Moines on March 8, 1988, before IONE G. SHADDUCK serving as Hearing
Officer. Complainant was represented by Rick Autry, Assistant
Attorney General and H. Edwin Detlie, private attorney. Respondent
was represented by Albert L. Harvey and Rebecca Boyd Parrot, Attorneys
at Law.
On January 8, 1988, Respondent
filed a motion for summary judgment and memorandum of law in support
of that motion. Complainant has subsequently withdrawn any claim
of discrimination on the basis of physical disability, therefore,
the issue presented in the motion is moot and requires no ruling.
